Sweet Caroline is one of our most popular requests -- we've sung it hundreds of times all over the world! If you're a Neil Diamond fan (and who isn't?), you're probably aware that Sweet Caroline was inspired by JFK's daughter Caroline Kennedy. But did you know that Cracklin' Rosie isn't a person at all but a bottle of wine?! And it's not just Mr. Diamond's songs that suffer this fate -- the intentions of some of our other favorite artists like Queen and The Beatles have been largely misunderstood all these years. This list compiled by Mental Floss highlights Rosie and six more famous female song subjects...who aren't female at all.
